Catch a chill when it's too hot to catch your breath - with a shirt that actually cools your skin. Our lightweight Women's Armachillo™ Long Sleeve Shirt is better than bare on a sweltering day, because it has Made-in-the-Jade™ fabric technology. Designed for and tested in sweltering hot, high humidity Texas - where everything's bigger and hotter than anywhere else, this cool-to-the-touch shirt is made to take the heat, so you don't have to. It actually cools your skin, which can be a real relief when you could fry your breakfast on the pavement. Two eggs, over easy - with a side of gravel? No thank you! Reach out to shade your eyes with underarm gussets, protect your neck with a built-in sun collar, turn up your cuffs with convertible sleeves and vent a little with the mesh bi-swing back.

Totally agree with Salt Lake City. I've been searching for a replacement for a long time daily standby for gardening and dogwalking- surplus military tropic wear shirts. This shirt has a much better fit and way more flattering shape, but the pockets are just frustratingly small; any pair of glasses falls right out. That said, it's a great shirt and if the Duluth designers could fix the pocket size, I'd buy a few more and have a new and more attractive uniform for gardening that, like the old uniform, stays opaque after a sprint through the sprinkler and dries fast.

Purchased it for hot, humid summer paddling, and it has been perfect. Protects my fair skin from the sun without having to use sunscreen. Love the fit! Princess seams are slimming and the slightly longer length is very flattering. Very lightweight and soft fabric but not sheer. I have problems finding shirts that give me adequate sleeve length and room in the shoulders, but this is perfect - plenty of room for comfortable range of motion but not loose and sloppy looking. How do you do it?! Button placement is great, no gaps at the bust and having two buttons at the wrist is very helpful. Saw a comment that said the pocket placement seemed too high, but I disagree. Pockets are still functional, but what I love is that the high placement is another flattering feature in that it doesn't unnecessarily accentuate the bust. Air dries quickly right out of the wash, but I often tumble mine in the drier a minute or two just until the fabric gets warm, then let air dry on a hanger. This reduces wrinkling. Bought one for paddling but loved it so much I bought a second. I wear them for everything now, errands, house and yard work, kayaking... they are holding up great but just ordered a raspberry plaid for "dress up"! I love my shirts!

I have now washed my blue Armachillo shirt over 15 times and it still looks and performs great. I spend at least 10 hours a week on the mower plus additional time in the garden and this shirt saves me from sun and heat sensitivity. I mashine wash in cold water and hang dry. (super fast, no wrinkles)

I agree with other reviewers that the sleeves could be wider and the XL just fits my broad shoulders. If womens 1x & 2x were offered you could really increase sales...that and more colors. The plaids do not include UPF protection (I called to double check)...bummer.

I ordered this shirt for hot weather backpacking/hiking trips. Wore it on a one day hike for five hours. Very happy with the comfort, weight, and coolness of the material. Washed it in cold water on delicate cycle and hung it to dry. SHOCKED to find the material under both arms frayed after only one wearing. I am a size 8-10 and my upper arms are of normal to small size. Also, after laundering, the seams in front look puckered and it definitely would need to be ironed before wearing again. This is going to be returned

These coveralls move with you no matter what job you're tackling. I wear a t-shirt or tank tee with it and I stay cool. The roominess of a bib overall likely allows for more ventilation.I did find them way too long (I'm 5'4") and wear them rolled up in the capri length which then is almost the length I want-for long pants. So I really don't get the capri effect. Still, I'm very happy with these and will order more. But would really like more color choices. I got the raspberry and people comment on my "purple overalls." Hey, I love 'em!This is the very first review I've ever done but I have been so satisfied with all the Duluth products I've gotten that I wanted to share so that others might try some of the clothing. They are REALLY made for working, are well made and look great.

I won't go gardening without this shirt. It keeps me comfortable on even the hottest days. I am sensitive to the sun so the UPF factor is important to me. It does look nice, too, so I have worn it out and about which is something I wouldn't do in my usual gardening gear.The only negative is that it can wrinkle badly if you leave it in the drier too long. A few minutes is all it needs, hang it up and it looks great! I have 2 and only wish it had more color choices.

I do a lot of field work in marshes in the summer - hot and humid! So far, this shirt is amazing! Light and airy, blocks the sun but lets every little cooling breeze through. I'm back to buy another one (more colors, please!).
